While we’re watching featurettes, this quick look at the filming of Rogue One‘s gigantic final battle sequence offers a look at the scope of this production. The “paradise planet” of Scarif is home to some Imperial construction yards in the film, but in the real world, it was a beach in the Maldives and everyone looks equally excited and exhausted to be there.

I think the whole story has been overblown and, quite frankly, it’s silly. I have no reaction to [this] story at all. Frankly, this is a film that the world should enjoy. It is not a film that is, in any way, a political film. There are no political statements in it, at all. […] [Rogue One] has one of the greatest and most diverse casts of any film we have ever made and we are very proud of that, and that is not a political statement, at all.

Even if Rogue One isn’t making a direct political statement, the depiction of a multi-ethnic group standing up to fascist empire is inherently political in the year 2016. That’s the thing about art – it’s always political whether it wants to be or not.

Entertainment Weekly has revealed a few more aliens and droids as part of a larger gallery of images, including this look at Weeteef Cyubee, a tiny Rebel soldier played by series regular Warwick Davis. Here’s how he’s described:

Warwick Davis has played various characters in three Star Wars movies — and in Rogue One he’s back as a wrinkly member of Saw Gerrera’s (Forest Whitaker) team. “Warwick is performing pretty blind inside the animatronic head,” creature-effect supervisor Neal Scanlan says. “He is cocooned in his [costume], and his imagination brings such incredible life to his performance.” Though Weeteef is a good rebel, his look was inspired by a mean fish. “We thought of a piranha,” says Scanlan, pointing out that Weeteef’s name is slang (wee teeth) for his tiny, sharp incisors.
